Mary & Gerard’s Wedding – The Details

Well, if you thought Mary & Gerard were be beautiful, wait until you see how they designed & decorated their wedding! Everything about the day was clean, classy, and simply stunning!

Perfect make-up

All I have to say is Jimmy Choo!

Mary’s Romona Keveza dress from Kleinfeld’s was breathtaking! It really was the perfect dress for her, and for the day!

I loved the reception details!

The view from the State Room

The cake was designed to match Mary’s dress – I think I Dream of Jeanne Cakes did a fabulous job! Nicki‘s view, then mine.

The flowers by Sarah’s Garden were lovely! (Nicki’s then mine again)

From the up-lighting, to the tables, to the view – the whole reception was breathtaking!

A huge thank you to all of the fabulous vendors who made this wedding so wonderful!

Sara & Steve’s Wedding – Gorgeous Details

As I mentioned in my last post, Sara & Steve’s wedding was GORGEOUS! There were so many great little details throughout the day, I thought I’d share them in a post all their own!

The flowers were so interesting and different! I love all the feathers and unique touches they put into all of the arrangements. The coolest part… Sara’s MOM did all the flowers!

This shot was taken by my fabulous assistant, Elizabeth!

The cake was beautiful!

It rained pretty much the entire day, but for a couple minutes it let up long enough for me to capture this shot of the tent by the ocean.

I told you it was gorgeous!

Elizabeth & Ryan’s Wedding – The DETAILS

Not only was Elizabeth & Ryan‘s wedding joyous and emotional, it was incredibly lovely as well! They got married at Elizabeth’s parents’ home in Marion, down on Buzzard’s Bay, and did a wonderful job making it a classy and beautiful event! They had 3 separate tents for the ceremony, dinner and reception and the flow of the day around the property created an air of anticipation and excitement. From the flowers, to the cake, and the setting – the whole thing came together perfectly. It’s amazing to me how the combination of little details can make such a big impact on the feel of an event…

The back of the house, where the ceremony was held.

Here’s a taste of some of the details in the house

The patio for cocktails and the view of the back yard

The dinner tent was set up over their pool. I’ve never seen that before, doesn’t it create such a cool ambiance?!

The tables were lavish and interesting, with big candelabras and antiqued vases of all shapes and sizes full of flowers lining the whole table. It was beautiful!

In these photos you can see the house, the ceremony tent, the cocktail patio, and the reception tent, and just barely the dinner tent in the back. It was so neat to have everything in one location, but they were able to give each piece of the day it’s own space with it’s own feel.

It’s so great to see all the planning and dreaming and designing come together and give a wedding such a wonderful feel!

Special thanks to:

Gregory’s in Wakefield, MA for the amazing flowers

La Fete Catering in Natick, MA

Britt & Mike’s Cape Cod Wedding – Details

Britt spent so much time planning and working on the little details to make everything special for her and Mike’s wedding day, that I think they deserve a post all their own. Take a look at some of the fabulousness!

Her shoes were awesome – even though she went barefoot or in flip-flops more than half the day ;) Her rings are beautiful, and the dress was breathtaking!

Britt’s necklace was just the right amount of bling to top off the simplicity of the dress. And do you love the peonies in the bouquet, or what?!

This collage is a taste of all the lovely touches I spied while Britt was getting ready. The bridesmaids each chose a pair of hot pink shoes, while Britt’s were gold. The flowers were straight out of an english garden – kind of wild, but so beautiful you know it was planned. And the flip-flops that Britt spent hours and hours making for each of her girls! Buckets of goodies for the guests, not to mention champagne in a can, complete with straws!

One of my favorite details was the antique post-cards incorporated into the day. Britt found antique cards from towns all over the Cape and used them in the invitations as well as for place cards and table numbers. It gave the wedding a very cool feel!

I also really liked how she accented the pink flowers in the bouquets with blue hydrangeas for the rest of the day. It all just went together so nicely, and was so very Cape Cod!

Some of the vendors who made the whole thing possible…

Catering – Sumptuous Catering in Orleans, MA (Shannon Mahoney)

Flowers – Fancy Flowers (by Meredith Fancy)

Bride’s Dress – Nicole Miller (Britt’s Mom had a Nicole Miller dress too!)

Bridesmaids’ Dresses – J. Crew – they each picked whichever they wanted in navy

D.J. – Cape Cod DJs (Rob Cushing)

Cake – Cottage Street Bakery

Tent and lanterns – Undercover Tent Company

Britt did all the table numbers/menus/placecards/decor herself with help from her dad and bridesmaids! She did an amazing job planning this wedding! She put so much thought into each and every detail, and it really showed. Martha Stewart, eat your heart out!

Annika’s Bat Mitzvah

This past Fall, I had the pleasure of photographing Annika’s Bat Mitzvah at the Museum of Science. It was such a cool location for a party! I got there early and spent some time wandering around the museum, and capturing some of the details planned by the lovely & talented Nathalya Mamane…

Flowers by Sarah’s Garden

Linens by Be Our Guest

Food from the amazing Catering by Andrew

This was basically the coolest spot in the place! Fine dining under the T-Rex – how awesome is that?!

Then the family arrived and we had a little time for some quick portraits around the museum.

The beautiful Bat Mitzvah girl

The whole family

Annika’s parents are such a fun couple! When I first met them cutting it up on the dance floor at Julia’s Bat Mitzvah, I knew they were going to be great to work with!

They kicked off the party with the Horah! Always my favorite part :D

This family loves to dance!

I think Annika had a great time!

Annika, it was so great to meet and work with you and your family. What a great party! Congratulations once again!! :)

Julia’s Bat Mitzvah

Wow, it’s been a couple weeks since I posted on the blog!! I hope you all weren’t worried ;) It’s been a busy few weeks with a sinus infection just in time for my parents to visit, and then a lovely bout of vertigo just in time for my birthday. Trust me, it’s been a blast (insert sarcastic tone here). But, I’m feeling better, finally blew out my birthday candles, and am back in business!

So without further ado, I present photographs from Julia’s Bat Mitzvah!

The lovely Bat Mitzvah Girl

And her wonderful siblings

Julia’s Dad, Andrew is one of the best caterers in Boston. I was absolutely honored to photograph this special event for their family!

And what an event it was! The party was huge, everything was so colorful, the decor and the details were so gorgeous, and of course the food was amazing! Special thanks to Nathalya Mamane, flowers by Carol Silverston, and Rentals Unlimited!

The dance floor was definitely my favorite part of the whole day. This was one of the most energetic dance floors I’ve ever photographed. I got knocked over, feet jumped on, and bumped all over the place – it was totally awesome! Music by the Nafshenu Orchestra out of New York.

I LOVE the Horah!!

More dancing…

And what’s a celebration without a few toasts?!

Thank you Andrew and family for having me as part of such an important day for your family – and for such a great time and an awesome party!!

Liana & James’ Wedding!

A few weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of shooting Liana & James‘ wedding. These two are such a fun, sweet, wonderful, not-to-mention-gorgeous couple and I had a BLAST spending the day with them and their friends & family! I shot over 4,600 images that day!!! I told you, I had a blast :) Not so much fun was the editing process of going through all of those images, but I’ve finally narrowed it down and am super excited to share some with you!!

The day started as I met Liana and her bridesmaids at her parents’ house up in Nahant. It was totally exciting, and definitely overwhelming, to walk up the steps to the door and have a gaggle of bridesmaids all waiting there to welcome me! They were all soooo excited to “get started”! So started, we got…

Liana opening her present from James – a gorgeous bracelet

Checking out the dress with her sister, and maid-of-honor, Jamie

Waiting at the top of the stairs to go down and see Dad

And this would be when Dad started crying, and when all the rest of us started crying!

Stylist from Peacock Alley putting on the veil

A few shots of the girls outside the house

There’s something about the way that bridesmaid is standing in the background that makes me LOVE this shot!

and there she is again…

The ceremony was at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Weston, MA.

This may be my favorite shot of the day!

There were tons of moments like this one throughout the ceremony. I couldn’t help but smile watching these two whisper and smile at one another the whole time. They got an especially good laugh when the ceremonial crown got stuck in her hair, but we’ll leave those pictures for the proofs ;)

Married!

They don’t look happy at all, do they?! ;)

A cute moment in the Bentley on the way to the reception. I love tagging along in the car!!

We arrived at the Saphire Estate just in time to capture some portraits outside, and to get Liana & James down to the lake for the sweet pre-sunset light!

Careful, these next two are HOT!

The happy couple!

Then it was back up to the reception! I loved the centerpieces by North Shore Fruit & Flowers.

They choreographed their first dance, and it was AWESOME! And you guys were nervous! ;)

The Father-Daughter dance

My favorite thing about this wedding was the party! These guys had one of the most packed and energetic dance floors I’ve ever seen at a wedding! Everyone was dancing and having a great time!

The band, OnLine, really knew how to work the crowd! They were especially good at getting James pumped up ;)

There were also some sweet moments on the dance floor…

But for the most part, it was high energy! Liana’s Dad was cracking me up!!

And this series really just sums up the whole day… very sweet, very fun, and very James & Liana!

Thanks again you guys, for everything! Your wedding was awesome and I’m so glad I could be a part of it!!

Liana & James Engagement Session

A couple weekends ago, I photographed an engagement session for Liana & James. We were looking at the forecast all week long, and it kept saying RAIN. We were getting a little nervous, but the rain held off and we ended up having a great, though chilly, shoot!

Liana & James live in South Boston and we decided to just do the shoot within walking distance of their house. I love to shoot e-sessions in the places that they go all the time, doing the things they like to do – so I can capture what really makes them unique as a couple. These two are great together, and it was so fun getting to know them!

First stop, the beach

Then we happened upon a little plot of tulips

and then some blossoming trees

and then a great park

then we walked back towards their house

On the way back, we found a house with a Mickey Mouse Doorbell! I mean, have you ever seen THAT before? It was kinda funny…

Then we found ourselves locked out of the park across the street from their house…

So we shot in front of their place instead!

This one is my tribute to Anne Ruthman, who always seems to have her couples lay down in the grass :)

Liana & James – thanks for an awesome afternoon! It was so great hanging out with you guys. I can’t wait for the wedding – we are going to have a BLAST! :)
